1. Ergometer an apparatus that measures work or energy expended
during a period of physical exercise.
2. Treadmill - Speeds ranging from 1 - 8 mph
- Incline ranging from 0%-20%
3. Indicatations of cardiovascular dis- -Changes in the J-point & ST segment
ease -Mets < 6.5
-Duration < 6 minutes
-Low peak HR
-Maintaining a low systolic BP
-Severe ST depression
-Prolonged ST depression
4. Cardiolite -AKA radioactive technetium
-assesses the volume of blood pumped with each heart-
beat
-labels the red blood cells
-ability to count the number of red blood cells that pass
through each chamber over several heartbeats
-side effects: swelling of face & tongue, hives, itching,
headache, CP, and nausea
5. Bicycle Erogmeter -used for pts with orthopedic, vascular, or neurological
limitations
-need the ability to be adjusted manually or electronically
6. most; least -Upsloping ST that does not return to baseline in 80
milliseconds beyond the J-point: ________ severe
-Downsloping ST: _________ severe & 99% dependable
for predicting CAD
7. Dobutamine Stress Test
, CCT exam prep

-adrenergic agonist
-stimulates the beta-1 receptors in the cardiovascular
system
-increases BP & HR which increases the workload
-may lead to arrhythmias, SOB, headache, low BP, CP, or
tremors
-Beta-blockers can reverse the side effects
8. normal test findings -J point that is slightly depressed, sloping up into an ST
segment that returns to baseline within 80 milliseconds
(.08) from the J-point
9. Indicates myocardial ischemia -upsloping ST which doesn't return to baseline within 80
milliseconds (.08)
-J point depression followed by a horizontal ST segment
below baseline
-downward sloping ST segment
-J point & ST elevation
10. Indications for a pharmacological -inability to exercise due to orthopedic, neurological, cir-
stress test culator or respiratory conditions
-general debilitation
-presence of calcium channel blockers
11. Data for stress results -ECG results
-HR & BP response
-presence or absence of CV symptoms
-aerobic exercise capacity
-presence of symptoms
-percent of pt's max HR
12. MET - Metabolic Equivalent -a measure of exercise intensity based on oxygen con-
sumption
